You Americans are not alone.
Here in Australia there was no reporting of this incident.
BBC - no report, and they consider themselves the best.
My posts to several BBC “have your say” forums re. this have all been “moderated” away.
I’m thinking that a bigger problem than the incident itself, is how “news” is manipulated. All I can see now is some “Winston Smith” (1984) at the BBC dropping my posts into the furnace in an attempt to re-write history.

Unfortunately the truth is that attacks against ISM-ers is not news.

For some it is like they are asking for it (even though they are unarmed and doing little more than walking kids to school). News agencies prefer to whip up stories about missles, terrorists and abductions (and oops - we forgot to mention they were released unarmed hours later. OK they shouldn’t have been abducted in the first place, but c’mon).

By the way, the term “militancy” applies to the actions of these extremist individuals.

From Dictionary.com, militant (noun):
. vigorously active and aggressive, esp. in support of a cause: militant reformers.
. Fighting or warring.
. Having a combative character; aggressive, especially in the service of a cause: a militant political activist.

I think these stories should be reported as being attacks by Jewish militants and the reporting of Israel’s police protection should be reporting about Israel’s police protecting Jewish militant attacks on Arab civilians.

This story, and the story about the families of the 12 Arab Israelies who were killed by Israeli policemen in October 2000 refusing to accept a compensation deal from the government of Israel in return for denying any guilt on the part of the Israeli police in the October 2000 events come at the same time as I’m reading the book “Blood and Religion” which talks about the status of Palestinians inside Israel.

The documented facts in that book are simply unbelievable and I assume that even the average Arab or Palestinian who thinks they know a lot about what goes on in Israel will be surprised by what they read in that book. It’s basically every important story that the media simply chooses to ignore and makes you think “how the hell can they keep quiet about this?”
